Bhati (Rajput clan)

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Bhati is a clan of Rajputs,[1][2][3] found in India and Pakistan.[4]

Background

Both Bhati and Bhatti Rajputs claim to be Yadavas. But Bhatis are probably Turks and seem to have no connection to the name Yadava.[5] Jaisalmer State was founded by the Bhati Rajputs and they ruled it till Indian independence in 1947. Sometimes, all these Rajput clans, Bhattis, Jadauns, Chudasamas & Sammas[6] are said to be the royal descendants of the Jadam Aheers.[6]
